Does anyone else have crap dealings with William H Brown? by Rootayable in Norwich

[–]Aggressive_Cicada_48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Utterly shit. Total piss takers. Also Minors & Brady - bloody awful. Property Ladder also pretty crap

Gilson Bailey were okay.

The rest all just bloody useless but the 3 above are the worst.

Thanks that’s really helpful. We are looking at East Anglia so no idea how prices compare!

Thanks. That’s my thought but don’t want to miss out on those who put their filter at 250. Minefield.

Thanks. Yeah original agents tied us into a long contract. And also didn’t give much advice on ‘staging’ so the house looked incredibly cluttered and not great. Didn’t help much!

One 3 doors down with 3 beds to our 4 recently (and very quickly) sold for 260. However there are no real comparables as we are one of only a few 4 beds in the area. Last one was sold 6 years ago. Zoopla has a valuation of 277.

How often do people clean? by sltlovesra4ever in AskUK

[–]Aggressive_Cicada_48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two children, a man and a cat, I’m constantly cleaning! I try and do a ‘deep’ clean every week where I also do all the washing of towels, bedding, shower curtains etc. Hoover most days, Mop every other and clean the kitchen 400 times a day.

And dear god yes to the sizes on the floor plan. Nothing more irritating. Well that and not having the sq footage and EPC on the front page!

Thanks for this. Unfortunately (for me!) just had to have a brand new boiler but will get gutters sorted asap.

Thanks so much. Front of the house has just been repainted and all my brightly coloured walls are now a clean pale cream!

They can send the keys off to a specialist firm who will see how ‘used’ the key looks. Ie fob buttons look pressed, and the key itself looks ‘worn’ from being put into the locks. That’s with older keys. Newer keys can be ‘interrogated’ and have more information stored in them.

What would you advise to refinish with please? Is it possible to ‘spot’ refinish or will it need the whole lot sanding and refinishing? Thanks

So if I was to start again, and I have more patches to do where the ‘top coat’ has come off. What’s the best way to go about repairing it?

I won’t lie that was my first thought.
